How does the beer taste, does the place attract a chill crowd, and are the snacks worth checking out? EM editor Lana van der Meer, who loves a good pub, is on the hunt for the coolest student hangouts. Her mission? To tell you where to go dancing, dating or drinking tonight.<\/p>\n

Oostzeedijk seemed somewhat deserted. We could only see a handful of people hanging out at the bar when we glanced in the windows of nearby caf\u00e9s in this student district. Apparently today\u2019s not the day for drinking, but it didn\u2019t put us off. It was just early evening when photographer Amber and I entered De Stoep.<\/p>\n

Jesse, the new owner of De Stoep, made us a welcome drink. A shot of Jack Daniels and something sour; should be delicious. The caf\u00e9 d\u00e9cor is simple: just a few small plants and candles. But they don\u2019t need anything else, as this pub exudes atmosphere. Leather sofas and chairs, stained glass windows and a copper bar give De Stoep the appearance of real bruin caf\u00e9, a traditional Dutch pub.<\/p>\n

Family history<\/h2>

De Stoep reopened in September 2019 after being closed for some time. It\u2019s Jesse\u2019s first business. His younger brother, Seth, also works there, as well as an additional barman and kitchen staff. They have a family history in the catering trade, with their father even working at De Stoep before starting his own business.<\/p>\n\n\t

Jesse explained that it was a bit quiet that day: \u2018Yesterday the bar was unexpectedly heaving with forty RSC-RVSV and Laurentius students, who all came to eat. It was a bit chaotic, I must say.\u2019 Traditionally, members of the Hermes House Band (the RSC-RVSV student association house band) come here to eat before their rehearsals on Tuesdays.<\/p>\n\n\t
